67. What Right Do You Have To Be So Audacious?
The dragon race loli, though still showing traces of childishness, was also undeniably a beauty in the making. Her silver hair was tied into twin tails that fell behind her, and her white princess dress fit perfectly, accentuating her adorable appearance. The sheer white stockings covering her snow-white legs only added to her cuteness.
Her impeccable manners made every move she made beyond reproach, a perfect balance of cuteness and elegance.
Whether it was the dragon race or the undead, all eyes were drawn to her.
"My king, she bears a striking resemblance to the Silver Dragon Queen. She must be the legendary Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi·Christie," Sigma whispered to Dalex, "She was born among the dragon race just six years ago, possessing the same royal Silver Dragon bloodline as Xia Lulu."
Dalex observed silently.
"Is it really the princess?"
The dragons were somewhat surprised, as the princess seemed a bit different today, perhaps even more perfect than usual?
Sera found it even more interesting. She knew that the "Silver Dragon Queen" on the throne was the little princess in disguise, so this "Silver Dragon Princess" must be…
"Her Majesty the Queen really spoils the princess," Sera thought to herself.
Xia Yi, seeing the girl who looked almost identical to herself, was first stunned, then immediately broke into a smile.
It's Mother!
Beside Xia Lulu was another person, Lucia.
It must have been Lucia who informed the resting Xia Lulu of today's situation, and then Xia Lulu decided to come here in this manner after assessing the situation.
She took a closer look and realized that the clothes Xia Lulu was wearing were the ones she had taken off in the dressing room earlier.
Suddenly, Xia Yi felt a bit embarrassed, a strange sense of shame emerging from the depths of her heart.
"Um… this…"
Wearing Xia Lulu's clothes, and then Xia Lulu wearing her own.
What kind of strange plot was this?
Xia Yi's cheeks began to redden, her body growing hot, but she couldn't show it directly and had to endure forcefully here.
Fortunately, Xia Lulu had attracted everyone's attention, and no one noticed Xia Yi's condition. She could use this opportunity to adjust her mindset.
Calm down, calm down, exposing oneself here would be a disaster, don't let others notice…
Xia Yi took a deep breath, trying to suppress her sense of shame.
"Mother, am I late? Sorry~ I was playing with the cats in the back garden, got a bit sleepy, and fell asleep," Xia Lulu said to Xia Yi in a half-joking tone.
Xia Yi was taken aback.
Wait, what did she call me?!
It was then that Xia Yi noticed something about how Xia Lulu addressed her.
She was thrown into confusion by this sudden address because, by status, she was Xia Lulu's daughter, and the other was her mother!
Now it was completely reversed.
Being addressed like this, she didn't know what to say for a moment, feeling the embarrassment spreading even more.
How strange, it was as if their identities had been swapped.
"Mother, please don't punish me, okay…?" Xia Lulu said with a pitiful look, her large tail swaying gently.
Her expression now was completely different from usual, overly soft and cute.
Suddenly, Xia Yi realized that Xia Lulu was acting with her.
It seemed she also didn't want to reveal the truth of the matter, as it would affect the dragon clan's reputation.
So, all she had to do was play along with Xia Lulu, right?
"Today is an exception, but next time, you must not do this again, Xia Yi," Xia Yi said, feigning a stern demeanor.
"Okay~"
Xia Lulu stuck out her tongue playfully and hopped over to Xia Yi's side, looking very mischievous.
Initially, Xia Yi was very nervous, but with Xia Lulu by her side, she gradually relaxed, feeling a familiar sense of security. Now, the presence of the undead behemoth didn't seem so frightening anymore.
How could he be a match for Xia Lulu?
This was the woman who could defeat me in an instant!
Xia Yi felt a little smug inside.
Xia Lulu simply stood by, not speaking out of turn, as the current roles were that Xia Yi was the queen, and Xia Lulu was the princess.
Lucia had a complex expression on her face, not knowing what to say in the current situation, only thinking that the world is full of wonders.
A daughter impersonating her mother, and a mother impersonating her daughter.
Today was truly an eye-opener.
And the others simply took the appearance of this "Silver Dragon Princess" as a minor interlude, for the main focus was still on the Storm King and the "Silver Dragon Queen." The dialogue between these two would determine the future fate of both races.
"Xia Lulu, I, need, Gerka's remains," Dalex repeated.
Xia Yi stole a glance at Xia Lulu's eyes and read disdain in those silver orbs.
She immediately understood Xia Lulu's attitude towards Dalex; she didn't even want to negotiate, and it wouldn't matter if they fell out, as she didn't take this guy seriously at all.
Oh… so that's how it is.
Xia Yi's confidence surged. What was there to fear?
She mimicked Xia Lulu's posture, crossing her right leg over her knee, propping her cheek with one hand, and began to laugh lightly, her eyes filled with disdain.
"The late king Gerka now rests in our Dragon Kingdom. How could we disturb his slumber over some trivial matter?" Xia Yi said, "There is no room for discussion on this matter, understand?"
"No! Silver Dragon Queen, this is no small matter!" Sigma hurriedly explained, "My king's research on the stars has reached its peak! This solar eclipse is a sign that soon, a terrible enemy will emerge, threatening all life on this land. By resurrecting a powerful undead using the remains of the dragon race in my king's domain of decay, we can create an unmatched high-level undead to combat this future threat! This concerns the fate of all races in the world, not just one!"
Xia Yi pondered how to respond appropriately.
Xia Lulu, however, retorted with a mocking tone: "How laughable. Aren't you, the Storm Legion, the greatest threat to life on this land? After all, where you go, nothing lives. If you seek profit, there's no need for such foolish excuses. Has the undead race started caring about justice now? It's so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh~"
Xia Yi found that with Xia Lulu's help, she didn't even need to make a direct statement, and the effect was excellent.
"You, young one, no right, to speak here!"
Dalex was visibly displeased, first glaring at Xia Lulu. The pale blue flames on his body went from a steady burn to a fierce blaze, turning into a furious inferno, a manifestation of his growing anger. The oppressive aura of a powerful being erupted like a tempest, descending upon the dragon clan's royal palace. The murky mists churned, and the wails of the undead filled the air, unceasing.
Xia Yi felt nearly overwhelmed by this force, the might of the Storm King far surpassing her own, a crushing disparity in their realms. It seemed all was lost…
But as her consciousness began to blur, a petite silver figure stepped in front of her.
It was Xia Lulu.
She took it upon herself to bear the brunt of the pressure for Xia Yi, her silver eyes shining in the storm, raising her hand and clenching it tightly.
The authority of the Dragon King!
The winds ceased abruptly.
"So this is the extent of the Storm King's power?" Xia Lulu said, shaking her hand as if it were nothing, "If you can't even get past me, I fail to see what gives you the right to be so presumptuous before my mother?"
Silence fell upon Dalex.
"Mother, let these clueless undead see your 'power'," Xia Lulu said to Xia Yi with a slight smile.
My power…?
At first, Xia Yi didn't grasp what Xia Lulu was hinting at. How could her own strength possibly intimidate these undead?
Then it dawned on her.
Of course.
The undead, after all, are still undead, and they have things they fear. And she, Xia Yi, had just the thing to keep them at bay!
